I think I'm the only one who uses the GTC fairly. Almost every pokemon I search for belongs to someone in Japan who wants a Mew or a Mewtwo or some other pokemon that I can't even get.

That's partly why I joined this forum; to trade and then also to battle, but I was just wondering if the people making those trades have a reason, or if they are just greedy and/or stupid. How can you seriously expect someone to trade a Mew for a Cascoon? Or to trade a level 30 Infernape for a level 100? It's insanity and it just ruins the whole system.

Alot of people try and clone with GTS or they are just practicing cloning but thats probably the main reason.Or they just like to screw up GTS.This thread probably belongs here though http://www.pokecommunity.com/forumdisplay.php?f=17 since your not trading anything right now on this thread.

This could spark a discussion in the main D/P/P forum, I'll shift it there.

Every time I put a pokemon up for offer, I usually find someone willing to trade, because I make a good deal. So I guess it's comforting to know that there ARE other people who use it looking for fair trades, but I can never find people like that when I search. If I want it, I have to make the offer and wait for someone sensible to come around.

That's is something I think Nintendo can improve with the next game; giving you more searching options for what you want AND what they are trading for it. I think that would save me a lot of time and make things a lot better for people who just need to trade for their Dex or something.

I completely agree, that'd be awesome. I sometimes want to just get an AR and get a whole bunch of lv 100 <insert w/e pokemon here> for those ppl that want one for a lv 30... it'd clear the GTS up a bit, at least.

I'm suprized you can even make a trade on the GTS. I honestly don't even try. Too many people are asking for mews in exchange for bidoofs.
The first month after DPs Japan release, the GTS was wonderful.
But during the middle of the second month, it slowly started to become what it is now.
